Phone line services

Your machine supports the Caller ID
subscriber telephone service that some
telephone companies offer.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering
services, alarm systems or other custom
features on one phone line may create
problems with the operation of your machine.

Do you have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that
you will install your new machine on, there is
a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the
machine will conflict with each other while
receiving incoming calls. However, the
Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use
more than one number on your line, so
both Voice Mail and the machine can work
together without any problems. If each one
has a separete phone number, neither will
interfere with the other's operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring
service from the telephone company, you will
need to follow the directions. (See page 37.)

The caller ID feature of this machine lets you
use the caller ID subscriber service offered by
certain telephone companies.
Caller ID (Caller
IDentification) (not available
in certain area)
The Caller ID is a telephone service that
allows the subscriber to see a display of the
7
caller's phone number as the telephone rings.
It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can
respond quickly to calls you missed, because
caller IDs are received and stored in your fax
machine memory. Besides the standard
Caller ID feature, you can also select a single
caller's phone number and call back.
Note
To get the Caller ID service, you have
to apply for it at your local telephone
company.
FSK and DTMF are the two modes for
displaying your calls.
The default mode of this machine is
FSK.
Please ask your local telephone
company for whether your mode is
FSK or DTMF.
If your local telephone company uses
DTMF mode, please switch your mode
as follows. Contact your local
telephone company or Brother dealer
in the case that the feature does not
work normally.
Caller ID feature is not available in the
following situation:
1 You have not applied for it at your local
telephone company.

internal switchboard or other switch
device.
